   About spid4

Jamie Matthews, aka Spid 4, plays a nylon-string guitar of Spanish cypress and sings his own compositions. He must have a singular stubborness, to persist with this when there are so many tortured guitar-toting singer-songwriter types crowding the virtual space. He has been known to mess with Max/MSP, Live and lloopp which makes life more interesting.

More music and the podcast is at The Spids' Web.

Hey hey

Thanks Jamie! Glad you're still liking the songs.
Yours are sounding lovely too

I didn't have to spend too much time tidying before the video - I just shoved everything into all those boxes I was using as props!

Hope things are going well.
